so my tactrix cable is plugged in, and i have ecu flash up (v1.38) and i keep getting this:


[14:56:47.588] sending init sequence 1 (0001)
[14:56:48.623] got 0x05 response
[14:56:48.623] sending init sequence 2
[14:56:48.634] got 0x1B response
[14:56:48.634] sending init sequence 3
[14:56:49.018] entering bootloader

[14:56:49.058] sending kernel load address (0xFFFF6000)
[14:56:49.082] uploading kernel
[14:56:49.082] error transmitting kernel
[14:56:49.084] interface close

this is my first time trying to access my ecu on my computer, and i guess it dosnt like me. what am i doing wrong?

 

has it been sitting for a while? If the battery is below a certain voltage it wont let you read/write to the ecu.

I have this problem all the time, I cant flash or read until I drive the car some.....my 3 year old oem battery is becoming weak

 

that could be it.. ive been sitting in here for a while with the key in the on position.. but i was driving around earlier today...

 

battery is fine, it keeps throwing "error transmitting kernel"

 

Is your ECU Locked? Use the Ecu unlocker from Aktivematrix.com. If you have been tuned by someone else before they could have locked the ecu/rom. Just a thought.

 

Try reading the rom with the car running, it will shut the car down and then proceed to try and pull the rom. All the finicky ones that do what you describing have been solved using that method.
